2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric · DP16 FOD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean record recently. The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 May 2025 at 43,051 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 30,126 miles and May 2025 at 43,051 miles, the car covered 12,925 miles over three years. This data shows a slight increase in usage during the 2023 period, but the overall usage remains well below the national average. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can occasionally lead to dry rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The single failure on 9 June 2023 at 34,179 miles, followed immediately by a pass four days later at the same mileage, suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic mechanical flaw. Since the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, tyre tread, or structural rust, the buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related items. Specifically, check the brake discs for pitting due to low use and inspect the tyres for sidewewall cracking, which often affects older vehicles with low mileage despite having sufficient depth.
